Ŏ is a Latin Extended uppercase O with a breve, useful for specific names, abbreviations, and typography.
U+014E
Ŏ is the uppercase form of the Latin letter O with a breve. It’s part of the Unicode Latin Extended block, so it behaves like a standard character in most modern fonts. Use it when you need the exact letter form for correct spelling or design consistency.
Latin Capital Letter O With Breve Letter Meaning
Ŏ (U+014E) is a Latin Extended capital letter: “O with breve.” The breve is the small curved diacritic placed above the O. In practice, this character appears in proper names, localized spellings, and typographic systems that require a specific diacritic rather than a plain “O.” Because it’s a distinct Unicode character (not just an “O” plus a generic accent), copying the exact symbol helps avoid mis-rendering, especially in forms, document templates, signage, and brand-like typography. When you need the exact letter shape, using Ŏ directly is more reliable than approximations.
